A self-taught musician from Long Beach, California, Taylor learned guitar at age 15 and performed in bands during education. He later created background music for prayer meetings at his church, which was heard by a film writer and director, Eliot Rausch. They collaborated on some short films together, and Taylor contributed to the soundtrack of August: Osage County (composed by Gustavo Santaolalla), before his first full soundtrack credit, Meadowland (2015). More recently, he composed for the TV series The Handmaid's Tale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
